• Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
• To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
• Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
• To the boiling water, stir in rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
• Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.

• Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices.
• Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch slices.
• Roughly chop cilantro.

• On a clean board, pat steak dry with paper towels, then cut into 1/4-inch thick slices, against the grain.
• In a large bowl, whisk together egg and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) flour.
• Add steak. Season with pepper, then mix until coated. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine ginger sauce, sweet chili sauce and soy sauce. (NOTE: This is your chili sauce!)

• Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
• When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then peppers and onions. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer veggies to a plate.

• To the same pan, add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) oil, then steak. Cook for 2-3 min, using tongs to flip once, until golden, crispy and cooked through.** Season with salt and pepper.
• Add prepared chili sauce (from step 3) and veggies. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens. (NOTE: Scrape up any brown bits from bottom of pan, this will add more flavour!)

• Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in half the crispy shallots.
• Divide rice between bowls. Top with chilli-beef stir-fry.
• Sprinkle cilantro and remaining crispy shallots over top.
